    Paedo pop star Gary Glitter is set to be released from jail within weeks after serving just half his 16-year term for child sex offences. <\/p>\n

    The disgraced glam rock star, 78, is likely to be tagged upon his release, but still has millions in the bank and could live in his London apartment, it is reported. <\/p>\n

    Glitter was caged in 2015 for sex attacks on three girls aged eight to 13 by a judge who said he would have jailed him for longer if he was allowed. <\/p>\n

    But because his sentence was a determinate term – a fixed period that cannot be reviewed – the Parole Board is not involved.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    A source reportedly told The Sun: \u201cHe is free to walk.\u201d<\/p>\n

    A ministry of Justice insider last night confirmed he would be released early next year.<\/p>\n

    Parole chiefs can block a prisoner's release if they believe they still pose a risk to the public.<\/p>\n

    But sources say that despite his appalling crimes, Glitter – real name Paul Gadd – has been a model prisoner and will be freed as early as February.<\/p>\n
